The delightful Dave White (The Wrap, Linoleum Knife) fills in for his husband, Alonso, this week on Breakfast All Day. And while we’ve thrown a truly random cross-section of movies his way, the longtime critic is naturally able to speak about them all insightfully. We review the musical “Cyrano” starring...

It’s 2s-day — that is, 2/22/22 on a Tuesday — so we had to do a midweek drop-in on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I have news updates, including “Uncharted” box office, “The Godfather” re-release for its 50th anniversary, James Gunn and Jennifer Holland getting engaged, our friend Kyle Buchanan’s...

Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg are hunting for hidden treasure, and we’re right on their tails this week on Breakfast All Day. The brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help me review “Uncharted,” the long-awaited film version of the popular video game series. Alonso and I also review “Dog,” a buddy...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Ted K
Sharlto Copley is on screen for nearly the entirety of “Ted K,” which follows the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, in the years leading up to his arrest. But the man himself remains inherently unknowable—fearsome and fascinating but just out of reach. And that’s probably by design in the impressionistic and hypnotic drama...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — A Banquet
Director Ruth Paxton puts you on edge from the beginning in her psychological thriller “A Banquet,” and holds that unsettling mood throughout.

It’s Hollywood’s biggest morning — the 2022 Oscar nominations — so we had to post a special Tuesday episode to cover all the highs, lows, surprises and disappointments. Our great friend, Los Angeles Times awards expert Glenn Whipp, joins us to share his perspective. “The Power of the Dog” leads...

Hi, we’re Breakfast All Day, and this is … a new episode of our podcast. This week, my dear friend Katie Walsh joins me to review the panoply of pain that is “Jackass Forever.” Katie and I also talk about the disaster epic “Moonfall,” which is extremely stupid, and yet,...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Book of Love
It feels sort of mean trashing “Book of Love,” a bilingual romantic comedy that offers a clever premise but never truly delivers on it in satisfying fashion. Sam Claflin plays an author whose latest novel, “The Sensible Heart,” is a major dud. But the book becomes a huge hit in...
